Sinopsis

Betsy Pauly died five years before Jen Braaksma knew she had even lived. Betsy was an artist and writer hailing from Minnesota, Texas, Missouri, and Florida. Jen is an author and book coach from Ottawa, Canada. Yet, improbably, Betsy became Jen''s friend. When Betsy died, she left behind a heartbroken husband, a hole in the hearts of her family and friends, and a half-finished manuscript. To honour his wife, Chips wanted to publish her animal stories - Betsy was a dedicated animal welfare advocate who could never say no to a stray dog or cat (or dozens!). Turning manuscripts around is Jen''s job. But as she worked, she never expected to form a friendship with the woman on the page. How was that even possible? Readers might feel they ''know'' an author by their writing, but Jen''s experience went further. She got to see Betsy''s drafts and her process. She got to see Betsy''s mind. And in doing so, she got to know this extraordinary woman. This may be Jen''s journey, but it''s Betsy''s story. A story about dedication, passion, and the connection that comes from sharing your authentic self - even between two people who can never meet.
